About Andreina

Andreina Bello is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, grief, addictions, and parenting strain. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she has experience in a range of community settings.

She has worked in homeless outreach, in-home therapy, schools, and office settings. That background informs a practical, straightforward style that leans on real-life problem solving. She helps people handle panic, behavior concerns, substance use, adjustment to life changes, and attention or concentration difficulties.

Her approach combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Emotionally-Focused and Existential work. That means sessions often focus on what a person wants to change, clear steps to try, and attention to emotional patterns that affect relationships. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with anxiety, stress, and grounding during hard moments.

She has provided individual, family, and couples counseling in past roles, and also addresses issues like low self-esteem, communication problems, and parenting concerns. She aims to be nonjudgmental and practical in sessions, helping clients identify tools they can use between appointments.

People contact her for help with complex, overlapping difficulties such as co-occurring substance use and mood problems, chronic illness-related stress, or trauma and abuse recovery. Before booking, confirm current session formats and any other practical details.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach center on understanding goals and responding to what the person brings up in straightforward ways. It helps with low self-esteem, communication problems, and general life stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and looks for small, testable changes. In remote sessions CBT often uses simple exercises and homework to practice new skills between meetings, useful for anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional patterns that shape close relationships. When adapted for individual online work, EFT ideas help people notice and shift interaction habits and emotional responses that affect parenting and relational stress. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Methods can be adjusted as the work progresses so it fits changing needs. Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify which online or phone options are offered. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule the first appointment.
